United States Army general (1877-1948) who served as chief of the Air Corps from 1927 to 1931, and came out of retirement to serve as director of the Army Air Forces Promotion Board during World War II. TLS signed “J. E. Fechet,” one page, 5.5 x 7.75, Army Air Corps letterhead, May 11, 1932. Letter to the Hon. Henry E. Barbour, who was representing California in the House of Representatives, in full: "As an old soldier, with pleasant recollections of our official contacts when you were handling the sub-committee, I cannot refrain from congratulating you on your masterly defense of the Army, which I have just read in the Congressional Record of May 10, 1932. Every patriotic American owes you a debt of gratitude and the morale of the Army certainly will be greatly benefitted when they hear of your gallant stand for what is left of that maimed organization. If we were fortunate enough to have more men of your caliber on the Hill the country would be safer." In fine condition, with file holes to the left side and paperclip impressions to the top edge.
